Description NoWhereMan 2006-10-13 15:44:35 UTC
Please describe the problem:
correct URI to browse a samba share is
smb://NETWORK@COMPUTER/SHARE

Nautilus is malforming the URI

Steps to reproduce:
Open Resources > Network server (name may vary, localized version here) and select your Windows network (from now on, NETWORK) - icon is white, as here http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323467

Nautilus will try to open "smb:///NETWORK" (three slashes).
Of course path does not exists leading to "position is not a directory" error; 

even typing in the location bar (ctrl+l) "smb://mshome" manually you won't still be able to browse a computer because nautilus will try to open "smb://network/computer" instead of "smb://network@computer" (slash instead of at) leading to the same error above (icon still white).

typing smb://NETWORK@COMPUTER will work, but I think this is a serious usability issue which in my opinino should be fixed as soon as possible

on the other hand, "mounting" the share using "Resources > Connect to server" will create a link with the correct syntax

Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323467 should be probably marked as a duplicate of this one. I preferred to file a new one, because I think I've found the workaround
Comment 1 NoWhereMan 2006-10-19 17:27:26 UTC
I've found an easy fix: instead of smb:/// the uri must be just smb:// and all will work as expected; please fix this
Comment 2 NoWhereMan 2006-10-22 17:51:31 UTC
I have to correct myself; this bug seems more random than I thought; the fix sometimes work sometimes does not; hitting refresh may work as well
Comment 3 Michael R Head 2006-10-27 13:19:51 UTC
I think you meant bug 356093, not bug 323467. But why not just post the workaround the the original bug? Doesn't it just make more work to mark one a dupe?
Comment 4 NoWhereMan 2006-10-27 18:53:37 UTC
well I meant both; they look like they are part of the same issue; and sorry for the duplicate, you're right ...
